[PATCH] D110257: [CFE][Codegen] Make sure to maintain the contiguity of all the static allocas

Please change the commit message to say why this change is necessary / an improvement on what we have now.

My recollection is that the amdgpu backend crashes on some IR and this decreases the probability of that IR pattern occuring, which still sounds like fixing the wrong place to me. Was this the one where hoisting static size alloca into the entry block near the backend would the problem?

I think this patch is missing a documentation update adding the new constraint that allocas must be contiguous in IR. That would help to answer questions about which alloca must be contiguous and which can occur separated by instructions, as currently none of them need to be adjacent. Also, is this only intended to constrain the entry basic block?
